Medical Weight Loss Program - Exercise

Start slowly. Going from being sedentary to doing a high-impact workout can cause injury and can be overwhelming. Start with 10 minutes per day of light activity and build from there.

Choose an activity you enjoy and are comfortable doing. If your knees hurt when walking, pick something like biking or swimming.

Think about why you avoid exercise. If you feel you can’t make time for it, schedule it into your day like you would a meeting. If you don’t feel comfortable in your exercise clothes, buy ones that you feel confident in. If you’re too tired, make it a priority to go to sleep earlier so you can feel well-rested enough to exercise the next day.

Pair up with a friend. Having someone to exercise with can help motivate you. Also, choose to socialize by exercising instead of meeting up for a meal. Walking in a park will allow for the same conversation that you would have over dessert.

Consider joining a sports league with friends or joining a class at your gym. It guarantees regularly scheduled exercise, and is often fun!
